Myhood,
a neighborhood social network
Myhood is a social network that integrates social and hyper-local neighborhood information with an innovative platform for communication between people who are geographically close.
This unique platform enables the user to be exposed to content which is geographically close - his street, neighborhood or town.
Geo-Social System gives user unique tools to manage his local life effectively with fun, to initiate and take part in groups, real events and meetings, and not keeping only the virtual experience.
The system allows receiving all the information around you and creating regional platform that enables city authorities reach residents in the neighborhoods:
- Urban news and information filtered by its relevance to the resident location (e.g. if a small street is closed to traffic the information on this subject will be listed only to the relevant street / neighborhood).
- Platform for easy and efficient communication management between groups of interest: Parents of children in Grade X, a group of "bookworm" of the local library which will share experiences and promote reading and discussion sessions, the local football team, etc.
- Recommendations of residents on business, babysitters, activities, good coffee shops, information on parks, schools, community centers, classes and shows.
Conceptual uniqueness of the site is that it focuses in the increasingly profound connection between physical life and virtual life - unlike other social networks, which emphasis global and virtual connections between members, Myhood connections are local and become physical and true.
The basic idea of the site was that a large part of interactions that we make on a daily basis strongly connect to the environment in which we live – the need to choose schools, health care, culture activities and businesses in our environment, keep in daily contact with parents and teachers, contact to the local community – our block, country club, and other different groups.
The site provides tools for groups who gather for local actions such as parent groups in schools and kindergartens, groups engaged in common sports, groups for institutions in the region (such as the local club or the nearest bank branch) and municipalities groups such as community centers, babies health care etc. In this way every resident can be a part of groups that influence his life on a daily basis and take an active part in the occurring events.
The platform enables unique development of applications and tools geared to simplify the daily life and to manage a dialogue with residents such as online surveys to see if residents prefer piazza or playground, dedicated search application with babysitter recommendations, convenient communication of parents with schools and kindergartens and more.
